Review from Jo T (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023

Overall Experience

Whenever I visited, which was days in the week or weekend the home was the clean, warm, and calming environment - staff friendly, caring and attentive to residents. Food, my mum loved the food. Mum loved the staff, having a laugh and banter together. It was a difficult decision to place Mum in a care

home after a hip fracture. She went for respite care and stayed 18 months until she sadly passed away. I would recommend this care home heartily.

Overall Experience

I came to Homer Lodge Care Centre on the 8th of February from hospital for rehabilitation after having influenza, on arriving to leaving on the 20th of March I have been very well looked after. The staff are all lovely and caring and treated me amazingly, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are well-equipped

and comfortable and the food is excellent. I will miss everyone and wish I could take them all home with me. The team are very hard working and should get the praise they deserve for the time and effort they put in.

Overall Experience

My Mother was recently placed in Homer Lodge from the hospital.
We live 40 miles away.
Every time we phoned to ask how she was we were told what do you want to know no telephone etiquette and we’re quite rude.
When we visited we had made an appointment to see someone, we could discuss my mother

my mothers care.
The door was answered by a handyman not wearing a mask.
Asked to sign in and show Covid pass.
We were taken to her room. He came back and said he’d forgotten Mum was in isolation so gave us an apron and gloves.
Spoke to the person in charge who said there wasn’t a room to go in, so she discussed my mother in the corridor with staff walking past all the time.
It was never a permanent placement.
Really disappointed about everything about the place.
Poor standard of care, wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Review from Martyn H (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2021

Overall Experience

My father died recently of old age and opportunistic infection having spent his last seven years in Homer Lodge.
He went there straight from hospital having failed to look after himself safely after my mother died. When it was decided that he needed continuing care he begged to be allowed to stay in

the same place and his wish was granted. He stayed in the same well-appointed room - his OWN room - for almost all his stay.
The senior staff were constant good friends for him. The medical care was careful, kind and caring: he had a chaotic diabetic problem that required constant monitoring. The junior staff, even when staff turnover was brisk, were all well trained and capable and Dad took to them easily as they came and went.
The continuing social contact kept him mentally lively and suitably socially challenged.
I live 50 miles from the home and so wasn't capable of just dropping in but was kept in constant touch by phone.
The best thing I can say is that Dad was very happy there.

On behalf of the manager and the team at Homer Lodge, we would like to express our gratitude for taking the time to leave such a lovely review on the care received by your late father. He was a wonderful character and will be sadly missed by all the team.

Review from Rebecca J (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2021

Overall Experience

My mother was unfortunately sent to this "care home" straight out of the hospital.
She was released back home in a disgusting state!
As a family, we are absolutely appalled at how badly let down we are with the "care" she didn’t receive.
We are absolutely heartbroken.
If anyone is reading this

and looking at the CQC report please look at the caring report!
Surely no one wants a loved one to have to go into somewhere where the "caring" report says needs improvement.
We didn’t have a choice where she went but if we did I would not have been in this awful place.

Reply from Mary French, PA to Operations Manager - Halcyon Care at Homer Lodge Care Centre

Review from Ann P (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2020

Overall Experience

My father became a resident after having a serious fall in December 2018 after spending time in hospital, we were told he would receive physio by occupational health. This was very short-lived, there seems to be a lack of even chair exercises, also any type of craft activities as we live away from Lincoln

and visit at various times and days, we have never seen any type of activities going on for the residents. As for the so-called garden, it's nothing more than a few plant pots with poorly kept plants and a slabbed area. I'm sorry to say I don't always find it a welcoming place, there are a few of the staff that go out of their way to be helpful.

Overall Experience

I was in Homer Lodge from June 22nd to July 1st for rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery on my arms. It was a strange but uplifting experience as all staff could not do enough to help me. They reassured and comforted when necessary.

Review from Yvonne M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 23 July 2018

Overall Experience

My 91 year old mother in law went into Homer Lodge for transitional care a few weeks ago. She then went home but had to go back into Homer Lodge when she became very poorly and there she stayed and received end of life care. She told the staff she was happy, very comfortable and loved. We cannot praise

the staff enough for their kindness to both her and us at this very difficult time. The staff were helpful, kind, compassionate and always pleasant in their attitude to us all and went out of their way to make us feel welcome when we visited. The food was amazing, the rooms fresh, clean and bright, she was always in fresh, clean laundered clothes and her every need both nursing and caring, were met with first class professionalism. Although the outcome was a sad one we could not have got through it so well if it had not been for the staff at Homer Lodge. A huge thank you to each and everyone of the staff. You are the best.
